OCD & ANXIETY

I always had really bad anxiety ever since I can remember and I also struggle with ocd, I've been pretty good at keeping it steady without meds but now that I'm pregnant I find both got really worse where I can barely function, anyone else experience the same thing? And can it be all the pregnancy hormones

I am nearly 3 months pregnant and have severe anxiety I'm worried about what will change when i have my baby and worried about the future. I sometimes feel worthless and can't seem positive. I almost feel depressed I'm sure being pregnant is making me feel worse too. I'm not sure whether to go to the doctors, I don't want to take any meds.

go to the chemist, rescue remedy and evening primrose are both natural things that help level out hormones and manage stress and anxiety, i take them even when im not pregnant

I have OCD and anxiety as well. my health insurance is very good with asking me how I'm feeling and will find me a therapist asap if needed. never really took my medications before I found out I was pregnant but now that I know that I can't make it harder. I'm 13weeks and I am constantly freaking out about my tests, hour often I am out an not using the restroom, but I'm going to look into getting to therapy, maybe that will make it easier. hope this helps!
